The were selected by purposive sampling technique different classified based...

A Restricted Selection Index was constructed to genetically evaluate animals using a dataset composed of body weights Shami kids at the ages birth, weaning, and 6-month. The variance-covariance matrix (VCV) generated used estimate genetic parameters for index construction after adjusting fixed effects; year, birth month, kid sex, type (single, twin or triplet) doe age, kidding (KW), (BWT) weani...

Data on 10148 Black Bengal kids recorded from 2008 to 2019 and maintained at farmer’s fields different agroclimatic clusters of West under the project “AICRP Goat Improvement, Field Unit- Kolkata” were used study effect non-genetic factors body weight birth 12 months age. The data analysed using least squares analysis technique. average weights goats obtained four agro-climatic revealed that th...

Abstract Over four years, 564 performance records from 235 does were processed to determine if lameness during the breeding season affected reproductive outcomes in meat goats. Lameness cases recorded routine daily herd wellness checks and treated within a short time after diagnosis. Does bred between September January. Kids weaned at 3 mo of age. Fall (September-November) winter (December-Febr...

The present study assessed the physiological antioxidant status of goats reared under humid tropical island ecosystem Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI). From 2019 to 2020, 25 multiparous non-pregnant does with three six kidding records maintained in organized farm Central Island Agricultural Institute (CIARI) farmer’s field flocks from South district were selected for study. Antioxidant markers...
